Had the pleasure of hosting Chris Canale from Old Dominick Distillery tonight for the bottle drop from our Kansas City Whiskey Guild single barrel pick.

It was great getting the finished bottles in hand, meeting some new whiskey explorers, and hearing more of the Old Dominick story directly from Chris.

There’s something pretty satisfying about seeing a barrel pick come full circle — from tasting and selecting the barrel to holding the finished bottle.

Appreciate Chris, Old Dominick and the Kansas City Whiskey Guild for another great whiskey night at The Sentinel Room. 🥃

The pour. The wait. The reveal.

​There’s a reason why the entire room pauses when a smoked Old Fashioned is served at The Sentinel.

Whether you’re capturing it on video, snapping the perfect photo, or just living in the moment, it’s an absolute sensory experience.

​Watch as the thick, rolling smoke traps those rich, charred aromas inside the glass. Then comes the best part: the tableside removal of the lid.​
That thick cloud escapes, the aroma hits your senses, and your perfect cocktail is unveiled. It’s pure anticipation in a glass.

​Come visit The Sentinel this week and experience our version of the ultimate smoked cocktail. 🥃✨

Sometimes the Sentinel "Lab" nails it on the first try with complete balance and precision. Our Smoked Blackberry Santa Fe​ is pure summertime in a glass. Small-batch house-made fresh blackberry syrup capturing the deep sweetness of the fruit at its peak. Muddled fresh blackberries balanced perfectly with a vibrant splash of fresh lemon and orange citrus, and layered with a pour of premium tequila.​ Finished with our blackberry sugar-salt rim and peachwood smoke. It’s smoky, it’s sweet, and it’s oh-so-summertime.​ It's a Sentinel favorite for a reason ​

🇺🇸 THE SENTINEL'S 4TH OF JULY SAFETY BULLETIN 🥃

After careful observation, we've identified the three most dangerous things you'll encounter today:

1. Fireworks.
2. Uncle F-Bomb, who insists he can grill anything "without instructions."
3. Someone saying, "I've had enough whiskey."

(We all know #3 is the least believable.)

So celebrate America's birthday the right way:

🥃 Sip something worth talking about... you know, America's Spirit: Bourbon.
🎆 Watch the fireworks from a safe distance.
🚗 Let someone else drive.

Because fingers grow back slower than good stories.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at The Sentinel Room.

Good whiskey. Better conversations. All nine and a half fingers.

Some people climb great heights to make a statement.

We just prefer to do it with better whiskey.

“When the power of an Old Fashioned beats the love of winning arguments, the world knows peace.” ~The Sentinel

We’re not saying an Old Fashioned can solve every disagreement.

We’re just saying it has prevented several people from sending the text they absolutely should not have sent.

Good whiskey.
Better conversations.
Fewer emotional press conferences.

The Sentinel Room
Come for the pour.
Stay for the peace talks.
